And meaning little longer periods, mine is in drifitng use so it means little longer periods in high rpm:s It seems to just scream for more rpm at 6500 wich i had setup for limit.

This post is really hard to understand.. little longer periods?

Maybe try clarifying a bit it's confusing to read thats prolly why there is no responses

He wants to rev the snot out of it so he can slide around corners like a homo. Drifting is for idiots.

Mikko

Sorry, i´m from Finland and my english isn´t that great, and dont know can i get this understandable, but let´s try.

I meant that in dragracing etc. you just accelerate to the redline and shift to next gear, in Drifting (when speaking real drifting at motorsport, not skiddingg a round corners) you have to keeps RPM:s at redline through long curve or combination of curves.

So im jus wondering, what is safe rpm limit generally for these?

Ps. speaking of idiots, that last post, hooray...

Drifting is as much a motorsport as skateboarding is an olympic sport. Put some katech rodbolts in it, some good springs and 7000 rpm is fine.

I stand by my conviction that drifting is retarted.

Mikko

In here that´s most fast rising motorsport, in there it seems to be kinda hasbeen and FormulaD propably has ruined it´s credibility as motorsport.
But anyone has their opinions. I personally don´t appreciate dragracing or nascar very high in standards...



But speakin of subject, it is otherwise stock engine by it infernals. Only Lunati 65602 cam and Lunati Gold patriot double spring set. I though at buying rodbolts but i didn´t...
Have people get rodbolts broken on N/A engines? I can get really poorly information on these engines in here.


My friend has driven couple of seasons with stock LS2 equipped with Procharger, 670hp at crank. He seems to be revving it to 7500rpm and no problems so far.

The thing about stock rodbolts is they don't hold up over time and stretch and cause a spun bearing. I spun my stock internal ls1 to 7200 at least 4 times a day every day and it's still running in another car. All it had was rodbolts.

I don't care for NASCAR either. I like dragracing and autocross. Top fuel cars are boring. The 10.5 and dragradial classes are where the excitement is

Good news, not everyone likes the same ****.

At least we both agree that drifting is ****!

danieloneil01

I don't like drifting but I also don't like when people have to be ******** and post stupid **** when he's asking a question. He didn't ask for your opinion.

Mikko

Pretty ******* stupid behaviour from a guy who has posted 800 posts in this forum. Wonder are rest of his posts same ****... After those last posts, in Finnish car forums he would et banned for month.

...back to the subject, and with standard rodbolts, where should i set rpm limit, and how high is it originally in LS3?

And little sidequestion, where could i find ignition advance chart for this engine from stock ecu. Im wondering does it really should use so low advances? mine maximun was 21 degrees and still need to lower those, seems it was knocking in first tests.
(don´t know is that text understandable either )

For clearifying, i use aftermarket ecu in my engine, so charts are limit values etc. had to be created from zero. (and it is in 2gen Camaro)

WTF? This guys looking for some simple answers and you treat him like **** because you don't like what he wants to do with his car? Gfy jackass

Anways on point here.

LS3's have a completely revised rotating assembly over LS1's. They use a steel crank, better rods, and best of all a superior strength rod bolt designed to handle high RPM use. There's plenty of LS3 vettes on stock botto
ends buzzing over 7000 RPM safely. The issue with safe RPM limits really lies in the valvetrain. I don't know what size cam your wanting to run so it's hard to suggest a combo but for lots of high rpm constant spinning your going to want a good set of dual springs for sure. PAC duals have been getting a lot of praise lately but I ran patriot golds for a few seasons and loved em. Push rods need to be upgraded as well to handle the increased load from the heavier valve springs. You could also replace the stock valves with some lightweight titanium or other exotic alloy units for even further range but it rally comes down to your goals. How much power do you want? How much coin do you want to spend?

I agree. Lets help him. Not insult him.

Any pics of your build or finished car?

Then I guess go ask the question in a Finnish car forum. Opinions are like ******** everybody has one. Funny to see just how butthurt some people get.

I would also consider converting it to dry sump. Once you get the engine to handle the revs, sustained high G corners along with those revs will starve the engine of oil with the factory oil pump and pan setup. Just a thought...

Jimbo1367

Good point. Just like roadracing

Pwebbz28, if you have nothing nice to say then.... Drifting takes tons of skill and commitment.

I would just keep the stock redline to be safe if you're gonna be holding it up there for a long time.
